FIGHTING FALL ALLERGIES

Posted: 09.27.2017

To help avoid seasonal allergy flare-ups, try the following tips. Plan
ahead; if you have medication, start taking it about two weeks before
symptoms usually appear. Avoid pollen; try not to bring allergens into
the home. Take off your shoes when you come in, and if you've been
outside playing or working, change clothes and shower to wash off any
pollen sticking to your hair or body. Avoid excess outdoor chores and
keep windows closed when counts are high. Prevent mold by minimizing
moisture. Use fans and dehumidifiers to keep air drier. Consider an
air purifier with a HEPA filter to help remove allergens from indoor
air.
